Daley reprimanded for breaching Code of Conduct

Shanel Daley was found guilty of showing dissent against an umpire's decision.

West Indies’ Shanel Daley has received a warning and been reprimanded after pleading guilty to a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third and final One-Day International against England in Port of Spain on Sunday.

Daley was found to have breached Article 2.1.3 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which relates to “showing dissent against an umpire’s decision during an International Match”.

The incident happened at the end of the England innings, when Daley snatched her cap from on-field umpire Nigel Duguid, who had turned down an appeal from Daley earlier in the over.

Daley admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Match Referee David Jukes. As such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

Commenting on his decision, Mr Jukes said: “Shanel Daley’s behaviour was clearly in breach of the Code, as the players are expected to respect the match officials and the spirit of cricket, no matter what the match situation.”

The charge was brought by on-field umpires Nigel Duguid and Danesh Ramdhanie, and third umpire Lyndon Rajkumar.

All Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand or warning and a maximum penalty of eight suspension points.
